Am I really blogging about Christmas before its even Halloween? Yes, but just a little (ok, I know I mentioned Christmas shopping yesterday also...). However, in my defense, I think you are going to want to hear what I have to share as they are limited and in the store as I type. We just got in the special edition Christmas issue of our No. 1 magazine Jeanne d'Arc Living and we only have 15 copies! It is full of so much goodness, I promise you want one. If you are anything like me, you could sit and drool over the pages for hours. And you might want to pick up an extra one for that friend who would love to drool over the pages also (it is a most perfect gift, I do believe). Oh, and there are now only 14 copies as I am getting one for myself...
I really love the idea of a simple and natural Christmas when it comes to decorating. The whole "less is more" approach. I picked up a couple of these amazing desert coral the other day for my mantle. I am planning to fill them with white lights and maybe throw up some pine cones and eucalyptus and be done. Simple, earthy and natural - that's what I'm going for this year. And, in case anyone wanted to join me, I grabbed a few extra desert coral just for you. There are only a few at the Willows currently and, sadly, when they are gone, they're gone. I must say, I think they are rather fantastic and I think you might think so as well...
And one last thing while we are still talking Christmas...
We just put our
Linnea's Lights candles in our online store as it is finally cool enough to ship them! These are one of our top picks for holiday gifts for anyone you need that special little something for - friend, hostess, teacher, coworker... maybe, yourself. These candles are amazing, as is the
lovely Laura behind them! Go ahead, give them a try...
Ok, enough about Christmas...
for a little while, at least...
We are planning to start setting the store for Christmas November 1, however, so I guess we will be talking more about Christmas soon enough... Hope no one minds!
